Package fuego.papi Description

Provides the classes necessary to interact with a fuego engine from a Java program.

Package Specification

PAPI (Process Aplication Programming Interface) is the API to use when interaction with one or more Fuego Engines is desired. The PAPI classes let you handle processes, instances, attachments, views, participants and activities, and some engine commands.

When you use PAPI you begin by creating a ProcessService, which is necesary to connect and get an instance of ProcessServiceNESession or ProcessServiceSession.
Once you get a session, you can use ProcessServiceSession methods to perform all the operations needed to interact with processes, views, etc.

The rest of the classes in this API are mainly objects containing metadata and all the info requested.

There are several Exceptions too, which contain the word Operation in its name. Those are the super-classes of all the exceptions thrown by PAPI.
